Once when working on the V-22 program I got into a conversation with one of the Boeing engineers. We started to talk about light helicopters and I told him (having never seen an Enstrom up close) that I thought They were a piece of crap. He took a degree of offense to my remark stating that during his summer holidays away from the university he used to work in the engineering department assisting the chief engineer. That wasn’t bad enough, it turned out that the chief engineer who had designed the helicopter was also his father. Later on when I got a chance to see the Shark model I was duly impressed with the design and the build quality.
